Snippet #2616143

Dawn arrived and Kari was finally able to open her eyes. She looked around and saw the metal bars around her disappointment sunk in, yesterday really had happened. Kari struggled a bit banging on the metal cage bars when she suddenly stopped and remembered the dream she had. It was a little bit silly for her to believe that maybe that dream wasn't actually a dream but at this point she didn't care. If somehow she had gotten magical powers then this was the time to test it out.

Kari closed her eyes and concentrated on the metal bars. She wasn't sure what she was expecting to happen, but when she opened her eyes the saw the bars were vibrating ever so slightly. She tried again, this time with her eyes open. The bars vibrated slightly again, but this time she also noticed a bit of the dirt outside of the cage raising off the ground. There wasn't any wind so seeing the dirt start to fly around was odd. She tried again this time concentrating on the dirt, a mini tornado formed. Kari smiled, she could control the air.

She spend some time practicing her powers and then she saw a little mouse, the prefect test subject. She focused on the mouse and created a mini tornado around it and the controlling it she brought the mouse towards her. Once the mouse was in reach she put her arm through the bar and using one talon on her finger she skewered it killing it instantly. The test run worked perfectly, she swallowed the mouse whole enjoying the reward of her success.

In the distance she could hear footsteps, using her amazing hearing she focuses in on them and could make out a conversation. It was the men from the previous night they must be coming back for her. "I can't believe some guy in Fernon actually wanted to buy this crazy beast. What does he want her for anyways, Fernon usually tried to keep all wild animal out of their borders, especially after that horrible incident, where all but two men were killed."
"I have no idea, he said he could tame her. Maybe he wants her to hunt for him. I wouldn't be surprised though if the guards killed her as soon as we hand her over. The captain of the guards own son was involved in that incident, luckily his son is still alive, but I bet they want to get some revenge on these monsters."
They men stepped in Kari's line of sight. The first man approached the cage and put the lock in his hand and took out a key. "What are you doing you IDIOT!" shouted the other man, causing the one with the key to stop in his tracks.
"What? I'm just opening the cage up to fed it. We can't let her starve to death or we won't get our money."
"If you do that she'll escape! Just throw the food through the bars."

'Darn it,' Kari thought. Them opening the cage was what she had been waiting for. Once they opened it she'd have been able to use her new powers to blow them away and then escape. Unfortunately being able to control air meant nothing if the lock was still locked. A few mice were thrown at her threw the bars, at least she had food.

"Load her onto the kart so we can start our journey, but be careful!" The men the moved her onto the kart, she did manage to scratch one of them not that it actually did her any good, but it was satisfactory. The two men got in the front and got the horses to start moving. They were heading to Fernon, away from Kari's home.

Kari practiced using her power to make the beginning of the journey hard on the men, she created a large wind storm that she isolated just to the kart and she tried to knock the kart over, but she wasn't very successful. She needed to keep practicing. Then in the middle of her attempts to cause the men as many problems as she could she saw a carriage in the distance. Out of the carriage stepped out two young purple haired girls. They were both wearing beautiful dresses, 'They must be royalty,' she thought. She knew they wouldn't do anything to help her, no human wanted to help her, but something seemed different about those girls.

The kart continued on, starting to pass the young girls. Kari continued to created drastic wind storms around the kart, hopefully she'd be successful in knocking it over at some point.
